If there's one thing cops don't like, it's being disrespected. So when some renegade launches a clone of Silk Road, the underground drug marketplace that Feds recently shut down, they're just begging to get arrested. They even made the homepage a spoof of an FBI-seized domain. That's disrespectful!

So you see, it's not just the fact that someone has launched a Silk Road clone. It's the fact that they're waving it in front of authorities like a playground bully dangling stolen lunch money in front of the teacher's face. The new Dread Pirate Roberts gloats in a welcome message:

It took the FBI two and a half years to do what they did. Divide, conquer and eliminate was their strategy… but four weeks of temporary silence is all they got. And as our resilient community bounces back even stronger than ever before, never forget that they can only ever seize assets – they can never arrest our spirit, our ideas or our passion, unless we let them.

We will not let them.

Well, here's the thing, Dread Pirate Roberts the Sequel: the FBI can definitely arrest you. They can throw you in jail for many years and take away the many millions of dollars you might earn from your illicit venture. Let's just circle back to the state of your spirit, ideas and passion after that whole experience.

It's worth pointing out that Silk Road's competitors didn't quite flourish when the site was shuttered—though their founders evidently did. Owners of the popular drug-selling site Atlantis shut down for "security reasons," apparently skipping town with all the users' Bitcoin. Project Black Flag followed suit, also stealing all of the Bitcoin that users had uploaded to its servers. Turns out closing your underground drug market is a pretty profitable enterprise!
